Police Capture ‘Weirdos' Instead of Wildlife on Trail Cameras

Police in Gardner, Kansas, expected their trail cameras to take photos of coyotes, foxes and raccoons. They got something much different. Officers were contacted about a mountain lion possibly being in the area of Celebration Park. Police said they put out two trail cameras to check for activity. “It’s not impossible for there to be a mountain lion in this area because there have been reports in the past,” said Gardner police Lt. Lee Krout. They posted on Facebook that they didn’t see a mountain lion, but they did see a white gorilla, a female werewolf, ‘bad santa,’ among other things. “The old lady with the walker and the bow and arrow was really comical,” said Krout, who reviewed the trail camera pictures. “I immediately called a couple of other people in the room and said, ‘Hey you gotta see this.'” They found multiple photos of people dressed in costumes in front of the cameras. “It made me laugh,” Krout added.
